And they often do so quite quickly.On Monday, Rivals updated its overall recruiting rankings, and there was some big movement for the current Michigan football 2027 commitments. The leading pledge is now Ohio-based four-star cornerback Monsanna Torbert, who spurned rival Ohio State for the Wolverines. Some other commits made some big rises, including offensive lineman Louis Esposito, who is now a four-star for the first time.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementHere is the complete list, with those not having overall rankings with a denoted positional ranking:Cincinnati (Ohio) Princeton four-star CB Monsanna Torbert (No. 70 overall)Houston (Tx.)
